Examinations

Public examinations provide vital summative assessment, generally at the end of a Key Stage. This assessment gives information to students, parents, other education institutions, local authority and government agencies and employers about knowledge, understanding and skills achieved. To this end the school participates willingly in the administration of these examinations in the best interests of the students and the school. In addition, other internally set and marked examinations may take place at other stages in a student’s progress through the school in order to both prepare for public examinations and check student learning.
